What GAO Found
Identity Theft (IDT) Refund Fraud Cost Estimates. The Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) fraud estimates met several GAO Cost Guide best practices, such as documenting data sources and detailing calculations. However, the estimates do not reflect the uncertainty inherent in measuring IDT refund fraud because they are presented as point estimates. Best practices suggest that agencies assess the effects of assumptions and potential errors on estimates. Officials said they did not assess the estimates' level of uncertainty because of resource constraints and methodological challenges. Because making different assumptions could affect IDT fraud estimates by billions of dollars, a point estimate (as opposed to, for example, a range) could lead to different decisions about allocating IDT resources. Reporting the uncertainty that is already known from IRS analysis (and conducting further analyses when not cost prohibitive) might help IRS communicate IDT refund fraud's inherent complexity.
IRS Estimates of Attempted IDT Refund Fraud, 2013
While IRS's fraud estimates note the relevant cost assumptions used to develop estimates, they do not provide the rationale or analysis to support them. Officials stated they did not document the rationale because of the time and resources required. Best practices suggest that agencies should document assumptions. Given the evolving nature of IDT refund fraud, documenting assumptions' rationale would help IRS management and policymakers determine whether the assumptions remain valid or need to be updated.
Taxpayer Authentication. IRS recently created a group aimed at centralizing several prior ad hoc efforts to authenticate taxpayers across its systems. IRS's planning documentation contains goals and short- and long-term priorities (including implementation plans). However, a commitment to cost, benefit and risk analysis is not documented in the group's short- and long-term priorities. The draft planning documentation makes no mention of where such analyses would be included in IRS's priorities. Office of Management and Budget guidance states that agencies should use cost-benefit analyses that consider alternatives to promote efficient resource allocation and that agencies should ensure that authentication processes provide the appropriate level of assurance by assessing risks. Without analysis of costs, benefits and risks, IRS and Congress will not have quantitative information that could inform decisions about whether and how much to invest in the various authentication options. Cost, benefit and risk estimates for authentication would have the additional benefit of allowing comparisons with other options for combating IDT refund fraud. IDT options could have significant costs for taxpayers and IRS, so more information about the tradeoffs would help inform IRS and congressional decision making.
Why GAO Did This Study
IRS estimated it prevented $24.2 billion in fraudulent identity theft (IDT) refunds in 2013, but paid $5.8 billion later determined to be fraud. Because of the difficulties in knowing the amount of undetected fraud, the actual amount could differ from these point estimates. IDT refund fraud occurs when an identity thief uses a legitimate taxpayer's identifying information to file a fraudulent tax return and claims a refund.
GAO was asked to review IRS's efforts to combat IDT refund fraud. This report, the second in a series, assesses (1) the quality of IRS's IDT refund fraud cost estimates, and (2) IRS's progress in developing processes to enhance taxpayer authentication.
GAO compared IRS's IDT estimate methodology to GAO Cost Guide best practices (fraud is a cost to taxpayers). To assess IRS's progress enhancing authentication, GAO reviewed IRS documentation and interviewed IRS officials, other government officials, and associations representing software companies, return preparers, and financial institutions.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends IRS improve its fraud estimates by (1) reporting the inherent imprecision and uncertainty of estimates, and (2) documenting the underlying analysis justifying cost-influencing assumptions. In addition, IRS should estimate and document the economic costs, benefits and risks of possible options for taxpayer authentication. IRS agreed with GAO's recommendations and provided technical comments that GAO incorporated, as appropriate.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In April 2015, IRS reported that it would implement GAO's recommendation by mid-October 2016. IRS's most recent cost estimate based on 2014 returns included documentation of most but not all assumptions. For example, it does not note that some returns resulting in paid refunds were excluded because they were outside thresholds. In addition, the rationales supporting some assumptions, such as the estimated refund values associated with e-file reject returns, were not documented. IRS should document the cost-influencing assumptions that affect the estimates and the underlying analysis justifying these assumptions.
Recommendation: To improve the reliability of Taxonomy estimates for future filing seasons, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should follow relevant best practices outlined in the GAO Cost Guide by documenting the underlying analysis justifying cost-influencing assumptions.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Open
Comments: In April 2015, IRS reported that it would implement GAO's recommendation by mid-October 2016. In its new estimate based on 2014 returns, IRS did present the estimates for refunds paid and not recovered as ranges. While these ranges account for risk surrounding known IDT returns that were paid to actual fraudsters, these ranges do not take into account the cumulative impact of additional assumptions on the estimate. For example, IRS's analysis does not account for the impact of omitting returns that did not meet thresholds. IRS should conduct additional analyses to understand the estimates' uncertainty and report the imprecision and uncertainty of the estimates.
Recommendation: To improve the reliability of Taxonomy estimates for future filing seasons, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should follow relevant best practices outlined in the GAO Cost Guide by reporting the inherent imprecision and uncertainty of the estimates. For example, IRS could provide a range of values for its Taxonomy estimates.
Agency Affected: Department of the Treasury: Internal Revenue Service
Status: Open
Comments: In April 2015, IRS reported that it would implement GAO's recommendation by late 2015. As of November 2015, IRS officials told us that the agency has developed guidance for the Authentication Group to assess costs, benefits, and risk, and that its analysis will inform decision-making on authentication-related issues. IRS also noted that the methods of analysis for the authentication tools will vary depending on the different costs and other factors for authenticating taxpayers in different channels, such as online, phone, or in-person. While IRS is making progress, it has yet to analyze the costs, benefits, and risks of its range of authentication options and has not used analysis to select which authentication options to use for specific types of taxpayer interactions. We continue to monitor IRS's progress.
Recommendation: To ensure relevant information is available to decision makers, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue should estimate and document the costs, benefits and risks of possible options for taxpayer authentication, in accordance with Office of Management and Budget and National Institute of Standards and Technology guidance.

Director Ted Nicolaou rewrites his original Subspecies story line and transplants it into the urban location of Bucharest, Romania. In this gothic tale, a wandering vampire named Zachary (subtly played by David Gunn) seeks revenge against the clan of vampires who crossed him over from mortal life. The abduction of acquaintance and young concert pianist Sofia (the charming Kirstin Cerre) lures him to the lair of Ash (Jonathon Morris) and his den of vampires living beneath a ritzy nightclub. In an interesting twist, the bloodsuckers do not commonly hunt down their prey in the outside world; rather, they seek them in willing bodies through the club, with whose owner they have dealings. Zachary seeks to free the terrified, imprisoned Sofia, who Ash has crossed over, and put an end to the clan's evil, decadent ways. In some instances, Vampire Journals suffers from melodramatic acting and overwrought dialogue, and conversation dominates overaction, but the combination of exquisite Romanian locations, Adolfo Bartoli's sumptuous cinematography, and Richard Kosinki's moody score will keep you watching. Another striking aspect of the film is that it is shot almost exclusively at nighttime, with the beautiful interiors often bathed in golden light; it offers a good representation of what living in eternal night must be like. --Bryan Reesman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

In fact, watching this movie is kind of like diving headfirst into the fanfiction of a 13-year-old Anne Rice fan, with lots of lace, velvet, classical music, marble pillars and flowing hair. It moves very slowly and there isn't actually a lot going on, but the serious, melodramatic tone of every scene makes it unintentionally hilarious ("I have no wish to violate your flesh!").
The story follows Zachary (David Gunn), a melancholy vampire with a conscience who seeks to destroy all vampires of his bloodline. Fortunately, he has the Sword of Laertes, which has the power to kill vampires... just like every other sword.
Zachary's latest target is Ash (Jonathon Morris), a master vampire with a love of classical music -- and he's fixed his gaze on Sofia (Kirsten Cerre), a talented young pianist. Zachary manages to rescue Sofia from Ash at first, but it turns out Ash has invited her to perform at his personal abode, Club Muse (which is a sort of casino/brothel/vampire restaurant).
Well, you can probably guess exactly what Ash has in store for Sofia -- he wants to immortalize her musical skills by turning her into a vampire. So he entraps her in his bedroom, slowly breaking her will so that she will accept him as her master. Zachary has only a short time to save her, but doing so might lure him back to the darkness.
"Vampire Journals" is one of those baroque/gothic/romantic slabs of vampire fantasy -- graveyards, wrought-iron, classical music, silk and satin and lace, old world aristocrats and vast shadowy mansions filled with marble.Read more ›
basically the characters were kind of flat.
and the movie is all suspense, but the ending isn't a sufficient catharsis. maybe because i wasn't that drawn into the characters the ending didn't quite satisfy me. but i think that there wasn't enough happening in the story, or more, what was happening wasn't fleshed out to its full potential, leaving me wanting more... but not in a good way.
aside from my criticisms however, the movie is worth viewing and isn't that bad. the music was alright and the costumes weren't bad either. the setting wasn't too bad either. though i unfortunately found no one in the movie attractive, i was oddly compelled to the guy who played zachery's mouth. when there was a close up of him that's what my eyes were drawn to. and of course the coming and going of the vampires when they fly was amusing. and the atmosphere was appropriate i think. all in all worth the watch.
The story is archetypal for the modern vampire genre: a lone "good" vampire, a vampire enclave racked by resentment and power struggles, a bleak ending. The film makes few concessions to those unfamiliar with the tenets of the genre, which may cause a jarring effect.
Full Moon Productions continue their tradition of casting the best actors in the supporting roles: Starr Andreeff is convincing in the tricky role of a human who serves the vampires from avaricious motives, while Kirsten Cerre manages to sustain a note of high terror through the second half of the film, believably and without becoming repetitive or shrill. Kudos also to the actors who play the parts of Cassandra, Dimitri and Anton. It would be great to see these actors in bigger and better productions. The two main parts, however, are miscast: the "hero" is callow and simply unconvincing (I kept expecting him to finish his lines with the word "dude"), while the "villain" is impressive, but with a rather humourless, one-note performance.Read more ›

|Reviews for Elfen Lied: Requiem of Annihilation
| heredia chapter 13 . 2/26
i like how he dealt with Kakuzawa
| Danazia Gray chapter 2 . 8/17/2015
Lucy's mother died during her childbirth and her father abandoned her in the wilds.
| crankshaft7 chapter 48 . 5/8/2015
This was a truely amazing tale. I would recommend it to anyone who likes the Elfen Lied anime or manga as I do.
I loved the directions you took and how you made the characters your own while maintaining the integrity of their makeup. Even Yuka who is often hated for being such a brat (to put it nicely).
I must comment on your Calidor character. The way he cared nothing for the power he was amassing or the souls he consumed to get that power. He was not concerned with ruling the world and galaxies but only for their utter destruction. It was a near perfect picture of Satan and his ultimate goal of the destruction of all creation in order to punish God who he blames for his downfall. And the inexhaustible pride that was truely his downfall as well as Caldor. I don't know if that was your intention but I don't believe I have ever seen such a truer analogy of that old serpent. Also I was amazed to find the part where the Dr mentioned the intentional problems with the vaccines and them being part of a eugenics program. I was thinking the exact same tthing as I was reading it because now 5 years after you finished the story these things are coming out and being proven to be true after a few hard nosed and sturdy people fought to expose that threat and many others. (hint. and just to name two)
Now about those people who wrote those nasty reviews. People who rip apart someone or their work and give no way to mend their qualms are either doing it because they get off on the power trip of belittling someone else or they have an ulterior motive for wanting to tear you down. Either way they ought to be disreguarded and maybe even given a taiste of their own medicine as you did (bravo by the way and you were by no means to mean about it). There will always be something you don't like in a story but you should just enjoy the damnbthing or move on to something else. This was after all a free story and a very good and we'll written on at that. So sick it beeches! Lol.
I would love to see a sequel to this even if it is written by someone else but I like to see someone's work remain their own since different people will go different ways with the same prompt and I liked your story the way you wrote it. I'd try it myself but I already have a fabric I'm working on as well as an original story and another after that as well as working full-time so I just don't have time :(
I hope you read this even though it has been several years since you finished it but if you do please let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
| Guest chapter 5 . 4/26/2015
That was indeed a thrilling chapter. I just wonder if you still check on your reviews even though it's been 5 years since you finished this story or at least updated it. Let me know if you do and I'll be sure to post reviews more often as I progress.
I like how you've taken hints of the powers a did lonious can develop if allowed to from the anime and manga and built upon them. Just as we are able to use our hands in so many ways, the diclonious would mostly only be limited to their imagination in all of the ways they can manipulate things. Not to mention being able to develop levels of telepathy. Very well written and thankyou for your hard work and appreciation for Elfen Lied.
One thing I noticed was that you spelled Lucy's real name "Kaeda" even though I think the manga spelled it "Kaede". It was not only on the note she left Kotta at the end but it was also the name on the phone at the maple inn. I think Kareem means maple but I wondered if Kaede had some kind of connection to the inn like it had been owned by her family or something. But I digress. I could be wrong about the spelling but I don't think so. Anyway that is the only issue I've had so far and bit is a miniscule one.

Mayu so sweet

| Duinithias chapter 47 . 12/8/2014
Thank you for your wonderful creation. I hope that you will take up the pen once again and that if so may your writings all ways be as good if not better than they have ever been and one last thing, Good luck.

| TeleeRocker chapter 48 . 4/20/2013
This story was absolutely marvelous! Trust me criticism is hard at times but unless it's helpfull I'd say just ignore it, every man's free to his own opinion and if it's negative, well then that's their own fault. Keep up the amazing work and have a great day!
| EL619 chapter 1 . 3/21/2013
| Icyalacran chapter 6 . 3/19/2013
good one. did you know AB can get blood from anybody, while O blood can give to anybody?
| Sora chapter 47 . 12/27/2012
I have to say i'm disappointed. If ypu hadn't added the whole council situation, i'd say i'd be happy with the long-at-last peace. The addition of that plot 2 chapters before ending the series was a big disappointment, and making a whole chapter about Badoh asking a question and leaving is ridiculous. I don't care that you added all this elemental and dragon stuff, but aliens? Come on, you straid too far from the series. I consider it canon despite everything. I still loved the tale, but despised the ending. 8/10. Would be 11 had it not been the open ending. But alas, it was a long ride. Thank you for this tale.
| xPrincessJupiterx chapter 7 . 12/25/2012
I'm absolutely in love with this
| Guest chapter 7 . 12/16/2012
First off, i absolutely love this story, seriously, you have me clinging on to every word. but there is one plot hole that i Don't quite understand, and i thought about this a lot well reading the comics and watching the show too. if diclonius need humans to reproduce, wouldn't killing all humans also kill all diclonius as well? i mean unless they find another way to have kids, after every human is dead diclonius wont be able to make children resulting in their extinction. so in a way, their own instincts will be their downfall. which is pretty scary if you think about it. again, i love this story and i'm gonna read the rest right now. thank you for writing this awesome story


text: The Ketchup wiki last edited by scoutnagnets on 09/29/15 07:11AM View full history Ketchup (or catsup) is a tomato-based food condiment. Published recipes for tomato ketchup in America date back to 1801. In 1876, H.J. Heinz (then F & J Heinz), the world's largest distributor of ketchup, launched their brand of the popular sauce. Ketchup is a common food item in restaurants and refrigerators everywhere, and is often served on hamburgers, hot dogs, eggs, meat loaf, and french fries.Ketchup plays a cameo role in Metal Gear Solid. In that game, there is a scene where the protagonist has been imprisoned. To escape, the player has the option to use spilled ketchup on the floor to create the appearance that they have been bleeding, motivating the guard, Johnny, to open the cell.

Getting your home network set up for ease of use is a highly desirable goal to achieve, but what do you do when the computer you want to use as a media server lacks remote desktop support? Today's SuperUser Q&A post has some helpful advice for a frustrated reader.
Programs you install often add themselves to the startup process on Windows, Mac OS X, and even Linux. But you can also add your own favorite programs to the startup process and have them launch automatically after you log into your computer.
Windows PCs don't have to slow down over time. Whether your PC has gradually become slower or it suddenly ground to a halt a few minutes ago, there could be quite a few reasons for that slowness.
Rainfall is one of the most useful pieces of information to know about the weather. Rather than "it will rain sometime today," get weather forecasts more like "heavy rain starting in five minutes, for the next 45 minutes."
If you haven't ripped your music CDs to audio files on your computer yet, it's not too late. All it takes is a CD drive and a bit of time. When you're done, your physical music collection will become your digital music collection.
Microsoft hasn't exactly been endearing themselves to tech geeks everywhere lately, with all the privacy concerns and other issues. And now they are automatically downloading all of Windows 10 to your Windows 7 or 8 PC, whether you asked for it or not.
Mozilla Firefox is due for some big changes soon. By the end of 2015, Firefox will move to a more Chrome-like multi-process design. And, in a year to a year and a half, Firefox will abandon its current add-on system for one largely compatible with Chrome extensions.
We all have a pretty good idea of the fonts that we do and do not have installed on our computers, but what is going on when you receive a Microsoft Word document that 'displays' a font you know is not installed on your computer? Today's SuperUser Q&A post helps clear things up for a confused reader.
How often do you load a web page on your phone only to be confronted by awkward layouts, ads that get in the way, and heavy pages that stutter as you scroll them? "Reader mode" is a one-tap solution to reading web pages without the frustration.
Filled with an array of helpful tools that can make getting through your day that much simpler, using the Quick Action buttons at the bottom of the notification center is a great way to connect to your VPN, take down a note, or launch the Settings app with a single click.

The majority of people use very weak passwords and reuse them on different websites. How are you supposed to use strong, unique passwords on all the websites you use? The solution is a password manager.
Does YouTube stutter, heat up your laptop, kick your fans into gear, or just use a lot of CPU? Even if you've never noticed, YouTube in Chrome is almost certainly using more battery power than it needs to. Like Chrome's other performance problems, this is probably worst on Macs.
Microsoft gives you the 32-bit version of Windows 10 if you upgrade from the 32-bit version of Windows 7 or 8.1. But you can switch to the 64-bit version, assuming your hardware supports it.
Internal file sharing has been a part of the Windows operating system for years, but it's only with the introduction of version 10 that Microsoft has finally decided to give its users the opportunity to share their content with local accounts and the world at large, all from the same place.
One of the big complaints Minecraft players have is that Minecraft runs on Java — it's a pain to deal with because it's insecure and needs frequent updating to avoid exploits, and they'd rather not deal with it at all. Thanks to a new launcher, Minecraft no longer requires you to install Java, so you can finally remove it.
If you only pay attention to the headlines that Microsoft wants you to keep your eye on, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Windows 10 has been a universal success. So far, Redmond's latest OS has been installed on around 72 million systems around the globe, and for the most part, has been met with overwhelmingly positive reactions from both the press and the public. But what if Windows 10's many privacy violations, annoying Start menu, and bogus apps are too much for you to bear?
Windows 10 is a great upgrade. Microsoft paid a lot of attention to the feedback they ignored while developing Windows 8, and it shows. Unfortunately, some parts of Windows 10 are inexplicably bad and hostile to users.
Click-to-play plug-ins allowed you to prevent video plug-ins from starting as soon as you load a web page, but more and more websites are moving to HTML5 video. Thankfully, it's still possible to prevent autoplay in many browsers.
Google Photos offers unlimited storage for your photos and videos, a slick website, and automatic-upload apps for Android, iPhone, Windows, and Mac. It's a great option for storing your photos.
Google's Picasa photo management tool is a really fantastic free tool for consumer photo organization but it has a really annoying habit: it snaps a picture of your entire desktop every time you press the Print Screen button. Let's take a look at the effective (but very unintuitive) way to fix that.

Dolphin will run your collection of Wii and GameCube games very well at 1080p on most new PC's, and even older systems still can crank out playable speeds at 480p, the native GameCube resolution. Installing Dolphin is easy, although if you want to put your collection on your computer, you will need a Wii and be willing to homebrew it.
Music streaming is the hot new thing, with many services offering access to millions of songs for a monthly fee. If you have your own music collection on your computer, you can put it online and stream it from anywhere — free.
Windows 10 is designed for PCs with unlimited Internet connections, and it normally uses as much of your download and upload bandwidth as it wants without asking. Setting a connection as metered puts you back in control, and it's essential on some types of connections.
The Xbox One Controller is a fantastic gamepad, and although Microsoft has only recently started bundled the drivers for it in Windows 10, there are drivers available for Windows 7 and 8 on their website. Mac users do not have an official driver, but there is an lightweight open source solution that works well.

A Urine Cure?
What is urine therapy? Is it worthwhile?
Answer (Published 2/23/2006)
Urine therapy, also called autotherapy, which originated in India, is the use of your own urine as a treatment for a long list of ailments - virtually any disorder you can think of from arthritis, leprosy, AIDS, baldness, cold sores, and a host of other disorders, both trivial and serious. It is especially popular as an alternative cancer therapy in Japan.

Some folk remedies involve applying urine to the skin: for the treatment of athlete's foot and jellyfish stings, for example, or just for beautification. They may help in some cases and usually don't cause any harm. Drinking your own urine to treat whatever ails you is another matter.
Proponents maintain that urine contains substances with curative powers. First of all, I know of no scientific studies that support the notion that drinking one's own urine is a worthwhile treatment for any condition. Secondly, as a physician, I view urine as a waste product that the body wants to get rid of, and I suspect that any perceived benefits from this treatment are placebo responses set in motion by breaking the powerful psychological taboo against drinking urine.
Even if you could overcome the psychological barrier and were willing to overlook the lack of scientific proof for claims that urine therapy has curative powers, experimentation could lead to negative side effects, particularly if you have a serious illness. According to the Chinese Association of Urine Therapy, drinking your own urine can cause diarrhea, itching, pain, fatigue, soreness of the shoulder and fever - each of which can last from three to seven days or sometimes as much as a month or more. Bottom line? Flush.

Happy Father's Day to the best dad I could ever hope for! Dad, thank you for your endless love and support, and for giving me all the tools I've needed to succeed during this crazy adventure I've been on. I may be 12,000 miles away for now, but soon I'll be using that compass you gave me before I left to find my way home. I love you so much.
Dear Dad,
In ten hours I'll be on a plane to Korea. At the moment, the only thing that amazes me more than that fact is your boundless love and support. Where ever my passions have called me, you have been a constant force of guidance and encouragement. No words are good enough to adequately express how much that means to me, and how lucky and proud I feel to be your son.
Suwon, South KoreaNovember 2013
Dear Ireland
My dad sent me an excellent care package from home. It's not anything I ever expected, but I am so grateful for my amazing dad. Sure, he sent me dried seaweed, but that's just his funny sense of humor. I miss and love him every day.
With this, here are some ideas I have for an awesome care package for an American female teacher working in South Korea. In no particular order…
Dear +1,
Look at you with your smiles and shitty nappies, you are the world too me. You may not realise it as you are undoubtedly focusing on something you just saw and must now touch, but it's true, you mean so much to me.
I am writing to you today as I wish to part with some advice. As you are young it is hard for you to understand much, and as you are young it is your natural inclination to believe that you are 100% correct about everything. If the truth be told you will not learn the fallacy of this until you are, well probably close to your own deathbed many years from now.
There was a time in my life where the thought of making a day trip to Costco would have been met with a laugh and a face smack. But, those days are gone….long gone…so gone in fact that Nicole and I actually left a beach party early just so we knew we would have enough time to slowly peruse each and every aisle of the wholesale shopping uberstore.
Located not far from centum city but in a very odd backstreet part of town, the Costco logo drew nearer to us on our cabby's gps and so did our excitement…no really, its not fluff, we were amped. Look, i'm legit amped here.

Value for moneyBy elisabeth.angela.9 on 30/05/2012 1:29:34 PM
For the past 3 years I have used their tetra snuggle bed and toddler pillows for my children. Its great peace of mind that the tea tree filling is 'breathable' (i.e. can't be smothered) and can be used by little ones with allergies and asthma. It can be easily cleaned and put back into shape. The filling doesn't have an overpowering tea tree smell (which is fantastic for m (...) Read more
Quality mattress for your baby and chemical freeBy charmsb on 16/05/2012 9:19:19 PM
Our baby has been sleeping soundly on the Tetra cot mattress for 4 months now. We are extremely happy with the quality of the mattress, and can rest easy knowing it is not only recommended as SIDS safe but is chemical free.
Snuggle Bed and MattressBy Lauren on 16/05/2012 9:11:54 PM
We purchased the organic tea-tree filled Snuggle Bed and cot mattress - just wonderful! I was initially hesitant about the Snuggle Bed because the edges looked too soft (like a cot bumper which is a no-no), but they are actually quite firm, breathable and comfortable even when she turned her head against the sides. It was a safe choice and my little girl looked very comfo (...) Read more
Organic and NaturalBy chantal.vining on 16/05/2012 8:18:08 PM
I purchased a tetra snuggle bed and i recommend it to everyone, I loved that it is made from organic cotton and the breathable tea tree flakes. My son was always very comfortable in it.
Great for the environment AND your babiesBy musofe on 16/05/2012 8:10:59 PM
Wonderful comfy mattresses for your bubs. Totally chemical free and organic. A fabulous Australian business we should all support.
Lovely products from a super Aussie businessBy tiffany.sirisisavath on 16/05/2012 7:52:38 PM

Tetra mattressBy Eve on 29/11/2011 10:32:22 PM
Our little girl slept in her Tetra Mattress from the day we brought her home. We just put it inside the cot. It was reassuring to know that she'd be safely contained by the mattress' soft walls during cold winter nights. We often brought it with us when visiting family and I used the carry case to store and transport blankets and pyjamas. We loved the idea that she was sec (...) Read more

For our second born we were given the Tetra mattress and it was the perfect addition to the family bed.

Helped my newborn sleep through the night earlier.By nicsid on 14/11/2011 4:41:28 PM
I cannot rate the Tetra Snuggle Bed enough. This is a must have product. I have 4 children and did not have this product with my first 2 babies. I discovered it on my 3rd pregnancy and wish I had found it earlier. We used it instead of buying a crib and placed it in the cotbed, which helped my baby become familiar with the cot surroundings from birth. Both babies who u (...) Read more


text: 5. Oswald's Comedy Act Who said Germans don't have a sense of humor? We've been listening to ex- UBS ( UBS) CEO Oswald Gruebel for the past week and we think he is simply hilarious! Shares of beleaguered Swiss bank UBS spiked 8% on Monday as the company named Sergio Ermotti as interim CEO after a $2.3 billion rogue trading loss forced the resignation of Oswald Gruebel over the weekend. Gruebel was so confident that he would stay on as the bank's leader that he chuckled last Wednesday when a Reuters reporter asked if he still had the board's support, replying, "Yes. Always." Always? Oh boy, that's hysterical Oswald! You didn't even make it through the weekend! We should call you "Ossie the Owl" from now on because you sure are a hoot. And that was not even the funniest thing he said prior to his sacking. Barely a week ago, Gruebel told Swiss weekly Der Sonntag about the scandal, "I'm responsible for everything that happens at the bank, but if you ask me whether I feel guilty, then I would say no." Not guilty huh? Well, maybe good old Ossie was just pulling their proverbial leg back then, because he certainly sang a different tune in his final memo to his staff this weekend. "As CEO, I bear full responsibility for what occurs at UBS. From my first day on the job I placed the reputation of the bank above all else. That is why I want to and must act according to my convictions." Looking back, perhaps Gruebel's most side splitting remark came this past June when he said "we have no undue risk in our positions... I'm pretty convinced that we have one of the best risk managements in the industry." Man, what a laugher. Just too comical. But what really cracks us up about that particular statement is not that he announced a $2.3 billion rogue trading loss barely two months later. It's that he said it with a perfectly straight face.

May 14, 2014
Got this rod and reel on a screaming good deal from tackledirect. Shipping was quick as usual, I loaded it up with 80lb Daiwa Boat braid and its my goto setup for jigging (100-200). Fun reel, plenty of power and it'll bring in the big ones.
Pros:Great performance Durable Good Drag Looks great

text: Consider an hyperbolic compact surface $S$ (hence with genus $>1$) and a Pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism $\varphi\colon S\to S$. We call "mapping torus" the 3-manifold $$M=M(\varphi)=S\times\left[0,1\right]/(x,0)\sim (\varphi(x),1)$$ Such a manifold can be given an hyperbolic structure and fibres over the circle, with fibre $S$. I would like to prove that the fundamental group of $M$ is doubly degenerate, that is its limit sets in $S^2_\infty$ coincides with the whole sphere $S^2_\infty$. The only I know is that the immersion $S\to M$ induces an injection $\pi_1(S)\to\pi_1(M)$; moreover, the fundamental group of $S$ is non-abelian (and I suppose virtually non-abelian either), thus non-elementary, therefore its limit sets contains infinitely many points, and consequently the same holds also for $\pi_1(M)$, but I'm still very far from what I'd like to show. Could you help me with that? Thank you.

20 yr old TB mare with two different feet
This is so typical to see in horses! One foot is very upright and "clubby" while the other is flat and either under-run or foundered. The trick is to get the contracted foot to open up while getting the flat foot to tighten up it's connection. With this mare, both feet were almost dead with very little blood circulation from years of shoes and contraction. She was very shut down and depressed with poor conditioning. This photo was taken BEFORE trimming. The clubby foot has a very contracted coffin bone that probably has a lot of bone loss.
After a few trims
Still apparent is the difference in the two feet. Since this horse has only had a couple of trims, she is still in the beginning stages of transition to health. But she has already improved in her attitude and movement.

EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla., 31 Aug. 2011. Laser weapons experts from the Boeing Co. Directed Energy Systems segment in Huntsville, Ala., the BAE Systems U.S. U.S. Combat Systems segment in Minneapolis, and the U.S. Navy have tested a shipboard prototype tactical laser weapon based on the Navy's Mk 38 MOD 2 deck gun, during which experts tested the laser weapon against a simulated attack by fast, maneuvering small attack boats, intermingled with neutral boat traffic.
The tests of the Mk 38 MOD 2 Tactical Laser System (TLS) concept were at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. The Mk 38 tactical laser system is a proposed high-energy laser addition to the Mk 38 25 mm heavy machine gun deployed on most of the Navy's surface warships. Tests demonstrated a capability to identify and classify hostile targets and provide rapid hand-off to the Mobile Active Targeting Resource for Integrated Experiments (MATRIX) system for attack, officials say.
The test system fired against surface vessels and aircraft to demonstrate a range of target effects -- including swarm tests against fast, maneuvering small boats, which demonstrated a consistent ability to detect, track, classify and engage threat vessels at tactically relevant ranges, officials say.

Neat. Calling all video game experts for the ultimate gaming experience!
They`re in hot water now!
I saw a neighbor demonstrate a blue 1100 Mw hand held laser that he bought for $200 bucks. It was amazing! If he can pop balloons at 50 feet, then these Navy lasers should have no problems.

Will it work on dove?
Yeah, and it saves you a lot of trouble! Kills it, defeathers it, bones it, and roasts it, all in one easy step!
Get these things deployed, like, yesterday.
EV beat me to it.
That'll work.
>>> Shipboard prototype tactical laser weapon engages swarms of small, fast attack boats in Navy tests
Urgently needed but it has to be remembered that a laser is strictly line of sight. If the laser can see the boat then the boat is already in missile launch range.
No problem. They just add the General Dynamics Over-the-Horizon Laser Bender (OTHLB, for short)....and voila!
Do you really want to be wasting missiles on 40, 16 foot speedboats?
>>> Do you really want to be wasting missiles on 40, 16 foot speedboats?
Mainly I simply don't want them in the first place in shooting range of US cruisers, transports, and carriers. Whatever it takes. And lasers are misunderstood thanks to movies and tv, they're not disintegrators.
Millennium Challenge 2002
Millennium Challenge 2002 (MC02) was a major war game exercise conducted by the United States armed forces in mid-2002, likely the largest such exercise in history. The exercise, which ran from July 24 to August 15 and cost $250 million, involved both live exercises and computer simulations. MC02 was meant to be a test of future military "transformation"a transition toward new technologies that enable network-centric warfare and provide more powerful weaponry and tactics. The simulated combatants were the United States, referred to as "Blue", and an unknown adversary in the Middle East, "Red".
Red, commanded by retired Marine Corps Lt. General Paul K. Van Riper, used old methods to evade Blue's sophisticated electronic surveillance network. Van Riper used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to front-line troops and World War II light signals to launch airplanes without radio communications.
Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise.
In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel.
Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected.
At this point, the exercise was suspended, Blue's ships were "re-floated", and the rules of engagement were changed. Due to his concerns about the scripted nature of the new exercise, Van Riper resigned his position in the midst of the war game. Van Riper later expressed concern that the wargame's purpose had shifted to reinforce existing doctrine and notions of infallibility within the U.S. military rather than serve as a learning experience.

Xie, Yu, and Emily Greenman. 2005. "Segmented Assimilation Theory: A Reformulation and Empirical Test." PSC Research Report No. 05-581. August 2005.
Segmented assimilation theory has been a popular explanation for the diverse experiences of assimilation among new waves of immigrants and their children. In this paper, we review the theory as it is currently articulated in the literature and propose a more restricted reformulation of the theory that yields sharp, empirically falsifiable hypotheses. Our reformulation is based on the idea that segmented assimilation theory is really about the differential outcomes of micro-level assimilation behaviors, depending on macro-level social conditions. We then test the empirical implications of the revised theory with respect to the well-being of immigrant children, using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health. Our empirical analyses yield two main findings. First, for immigrant adolescents living in non-poverty neighborhoods, we find assimilation to be positively associated with educational achievement and psychological well-being but also positively associated with at-risk behavior. Second, there is little empirical evidence supporting our reformulation of segmented assimilation. We interpret these results to mean that future research would be more fruitful focusing on differential processes of assimilation rather than differential consequences of assimilation.

The Mating Season
By P. G. WODEHOUSE
THE OVERLOOK PRESS While I would not go so far, perhaps, as to describe the heart as actually leaden, I must confess that on the eve of starting to do my bit of time at Deverill Hall I was definitely short on chirpiness. I shrank from the prospect of being decanted into a household on chummy terms with a thug like my Aunt Agatha, weakened as I already was by having had her son Thomas, one of our most prominent fiends in human shape, on my hands for three days.

I mentioned this to Jeeves, and he agreed that the set-up could have been juicier.
`Still,' I said, taking a pop, as always, at trying to focus the silver lining, `it's flattering, of course.'
`Being the People's Choice, Jeeves. Having these birds going around chanting "We Want Wooster".'
`Ah, yes, sir. Precisely. Most gratifying.'
But half a jiffy. I'm forgetting that you haven't the foggiest what all this is about. It so often pans out that way when you begin a story. You whizz off the mark all pep and ginger, like a mettlesome charger going into its routine, and the next thing you know, the customers are up on their hind legs, yelling for footnotes.
Let me get into reverse and put you abreast.
My Aunt Agatha, the one who chews broken bottles and kills rats with her teeth, arriving suddenly in London from her rural lair with her son Thomas, had instructed me in her authoritative way to put the latter up in my flatfor three days while he visited dentists and Old Vics and things preparatory to leaving for his school at Bramley-on-Sea and, that done, to proceed to Deverill Hall, King's Deverill, Hants., the residence of some pals of hers, and lend my services to the village concert. Apparently they wanted to stiffen up the programme with a bit of metropolitan talent, and I had been recommended by the vicar's niece.
And that, of course, was that. It was no good telling her that I would prefer not to touch young Thos with a ten-foot pole and that I disliked taking on blind dates. When Aunt Agatha issues her orders, you fill them. But I was conscious, as I have indicated, of an uneasiness as to the shape of things to come, and it didn't make the outlook any brighter to know that Gussie Fink-Nottle would be among those present at Deverill Hall. When you get trapped in the den of the Secret Nine, you want something a lot better than Gussie to help you keep the upper lip stiff.
I mused a bit.
`I wish I had more data about these people, Jeeves,' I said. `I like on these occasions to know what I'm up against. So far, all I've gathered is that I am to be the guest of a landed proprietor called Harris or Hacker or possibly Hassock.'
`Haddock, sir.'
`Haddock, eh?'
`Yes, sir. The gentleman who is to be your host is a Mr Esmond Haddock.'
`It's odd, but that name seems to strike a chord, as if I'd heard it before somewhere.'
`Mr Haddock is the son of the owner of a widely advertised patent remedy known as Haddock's Headache Hokies, sir. Possibly the specific is familiar to you.'
`Of course. I know it well. Not so sensationally good as those pick-me-ups of yours, but none the less a sound stand-by on the morning after. So he's one of those Haddocks, is he?'
`Yes, sir. Mr Esmond Haddocks late father married the late Miss Flora Deverill.'
`Before they were both late, of course?'
`The union was considered something of a mésalliance by the lady's sisters. The Deverills are a very old county familylike so many others in these days, impoverished.'
`I begin to get the scenario. Haddock, though not as posh as he might be on the father's side, foots the weekly bills?'
`Yes, sir.'
`Well, no doubt he can afford to. There's gold in them thar Hokies, Jeeves.'
`So I should be disposed to imagine, sir.'
A point struck me which often does strike me when chewing the fat with this honest fellow viz. that he seemed to know a hell of a lot about it. I mentioned this, and he explained that it was one of those odd chances that had enabled him to get the inside story.
`My Uncle Charlie holds the post of butler at the Hall, sir. It is from him that I derive my information.'
`I didn't know you had an Uncle Charlie. Charlie Jeeves?'
`No, sir. Charlie Silversmith.'
I lit a rather pleased cigarette. Things were beginning to clarify.
`Well, this is a bit of goose. You'll be able to give me all the salient facts, if salient is the word I want. What sort of a joint is this Deverill Hall? Nice place? Gravel soil? Spreading views?'
`Yes, sir.'
`Good catering?'
`Yes, sir.'
`And touching on the personnel. Would there be a Mrs Haddock?'
`No, sir. The young gentleman is unmarried. He resides at the Hall with his five aunts.'
`Yes, sir. The Misses Charlotte, Emmeline, Harriet and Myrtle Deverill and Dame Daphne Winkworth, relict of the late P. B. Winkworth, the historian. Dame Daphne's daughter, Miss Gertrude Winkworth, is, I understand, also in residence.'
On the cue `five aunts' I had given at the knees a trifle, for the thought of being confronted with such a solid gaggle of aunts, even if those of another, was an unnerving one. Reminding myself that in this life it is not aunts that matter but the courage which one brings to them, I pulled myself together.
`I see,' I said. `No stint of female society.'
`No, sir.'
`I may find Gussie's company a relief.'
`Very possibly, sir.'
`Such as it is.'
`Yes, sir.'
I wonder, by the way, if you recall this Augustus, on whose activities I have had occasion to touch once or twice before now? Throw the mind back. Goofy to the gills, face like a fish, horn-rimmed spectacles, drank orange juice, collected newts, engaged to England's premier pill, a girl called Madeline Bassett ... Ah, you've got him? Fine.
`Tell me, Jeeves,' I said, `how does Gussie come to be mixed up with these bacteria? Surely a bit of an inscrutable mystery that he, too, should be headed for Deverill Hall?'
`No, sir. It was Mr Fink-Nottle himself who informed me.'
`You've seen him, then?'
`Yes, sir. He called while you were out.'
`How did he seem?'
`Low-spirited, sir.'
`Like me, he shrinks from the prospect of visiting this ghastly shack?'
`Yes, sir. He had supposed that Miss Bassett would be accompanying him, but she has altered her arrangements at the last moment and gone to reside at The Larches, Wimbledon Common, with an old school friend who has recently suffered a disappointment in love. It was Miss Bassett's view that she needed cheering up.'
I was at a loss to comprehend how the society of Madeline Bassett could cheer anyone up, she being from topknot to shoe sole the woman whom God forgot, but I didn't say so. I merely threw out the opinion that this must have made Gussie froth a bit.
`Yes, sir. He expressed annoyance at the change of plan. Indeed, I gathered from his remarks, for he was kind enough to confide in me, that there has resulted a certain coolness between himself and Miss Bassett.'
`Gosh!' I said. And I'll tell you why I goshed. If you remember Gussie Fink-Nottle, you will probably also remember the chain of circumstances which led up, if chains do lead up, to this frightful Bassett getting the impression firmly fixed in her woollen head that Bertram Wooster was pining away for love of her. I won't go into details now, but it was her conviction that if ever she felt like severing relations with Gussie, she had only to send out a hurry call for me and I would come racing round, all ready to buy the licence and start ordering the wedding cake.
So, knowing my view regarding this Bassett, M., you will readily understand why this stuff about coolnesses drew a startled `Gosh!' from me. The thought of my peril had never left me, and I wasn't going to be really easy in my mind till these two were actually centre-aisling. Only when the clergyman had definitely pronounced sentence would Bertram start to breathe freely again.
`Ah, well,' I said, hoping for the best. `Just a lovers' tiff, no doubt. Always happening, these lovers' tiffs. Probably by this time a complete reconciliation has been effected and the laughing Love God is sweating away at the old stand once more with knobs on. Ha!' I proceeded as the front-door bell tootled, 'someone waits without. If it's young Thos, tell him that I shall expect him to be in readiness, all clean and rosy, at seven forty-five tonight to accompany me to the performance of King Lear at the Old Vic, and it's no good him trying to do a sneak. His mother said he had got to go to the Old Vic, and he's jolly well going.'
`I think it is more probable that it is Mr Pirbright, sir.'
`Old Catsmeat? What makes you think that?'
`He also called during your absence and indicated that he would return later. He was accompanied by his sister, Miss Pirbright.'
`Good Lord, really? Corky? I thought she was in Hollywood.'
`I understand that she has returned to England for a vacation, sir.'
`Did you give her tea?'
`Yes, sir. Master Thomas played host. Miss Pirbright took the young gentleman off subsequently to see a picture.'
`I wish I hadn't missed her. I haven't seen Corky for ages. Was she all right?'
`Yes, sir.'
`And Catsmeat? How was he?'
`Low-spirited, sir.'
`You're mixing him up with Gussie. It was Gussie, if you recall, who was low-spirited.'
`Mr Pirbright also.' `There seems to be a lot of low-spiritedness kicking about these days.'
`We live in difficult times, sir.'
`True. Well, bung him in.'
He oozed out, and a few moments later oozed in again.
`Mr Pirbright,' he announced.
He had called his shots correctly. A glance at the young visitor was enough to tell me that he was low-spirited. And mind you, it isn't often that you find the object under advisement in this condition. A singularly fizzy bird, as a rule. In fact, taking him by and large, I should say that of all the rollicking lads at the Drones Club, Claude Cattermole Pirbright is perhaps the most rollicking, both on the stage and off.
I say `on the stage', for it is behind the footlights that he earns his weekly envelope. He comes of a prominent theatrical family. His father was the man who wrote the music of The Blue Lady and other substantial hits which I unfortunately missed owing to being in the cradle at the time. His mother was Elsie Cattermole, who was a star in New York for years. And his sister Corky has been wowing the customers with her oomph and espièglerie, if that's the word I want, since she was about sixteen.
It was almost inevitable, therefore, that, looking about him on coming down from Oxford for some walk in life which would ensure the three squares a day and give him time to play a bit of county cricket, he should have selected the sock and buskin. Today he is the fellow managers pick first when they have a Society comedy to present and want someone for `Freddie', the lighthearted friend of the hero, carrying the second love interest. If at such a show you see a willowy figure come bounding on with a

This novel exemplifies all the best and most charming elements of the Wodehouse panoply: dashing characters in pursuit of modest but personal values, brilliant diction and a masterfully interlocked plot. Bertie Wooster, defending his bachelor life, goes to Deverill Hall pretending to be the quintessential drip Gussie Fink-Nottle to preserve latter's engagement with the Basset. Meanwhile, Esmond loves Corky and Gertrude loves Catsmeat, but none of the pairings can get right against the threat of the Five Aunts. Then Gussie shows up pretending to be Bertie Wooster, threatening not only to unravel the whole scheme but tarnish Bertie's reputation. Only Jeeves can straighten things out.

The "continental breakfast" is a joke. Two tupperware containers of cereal, some dollar store packaged pastries (2 kinds, a danish looking thing & a fruit newton clone), and some dishwater coffee. The "spread" takes up about 1 foot and a half of the front desk counter. No fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, anything remotely healthy. If you're in the oceanfront building it's a bit of a hike to get it. Not a huge issue unless it's pouring or you have reduced mobility.
I chose an Oceanview room as the photos looked stunning. The view is ok. From the balcony. There is one lonely plastic chair on my balcony and no table. Since you would assume two people would be in the room one would think two chairs might be standard. I don't see any other chairs so I guess I should be thankful. From the bed your view is of the adjacent yard.
This is my second day here and twice I've been out all day, and come back to an unmade room. And not 5 minutes after I walk in the door at 4:30pm and try to start showering & changing, housekeeping shows up. Two days in a row. Yesterday I said oh just forget it, but today I have no towels & overflowing trash so now I'm out on the balcony when I should be in the shower. Somehow I got the impression from the website that there was a beach here and brought my snorkeling gear. There's no beach. Two hammocks, one is broken. For $130 per night I expect more. And yes, most of the hotels around here are more expensive. But last year I stayed at the Ragged Edge & paid half what I did here, and had a better stay.
The people here seem nice, but I won't stay here again.

We stayed again in Parkhotel Bergen for our yearly family weekend and we were just as happy as last year. Staff was very friendly, polite and helpful. Check in was fast and parking on site was convenient, although at a charge, which is normal in the center. The weather was nice, so we made a lot of use of the balcony. Service was again great, both breakfast and dinner were outstandingly arranged. During our stay the Dutch soccer team played a match against Mexico for the Worldcup. The team of Parkhotel moved a lot of furniture and arranged a big television screen where guests could watch the game and drinks were served. They did a great job and we will be back next year!
